Pu Er D’Or from Le Palais des Thés

A top of the line ripe pu-erh from Le Palais des Thés (Tel Aviv, IL), called Pu er d’Or. Also present on their French site with almost two times lower price 🙂 Comes from a garden in Meng Hai, Yunnan.

Brewing in my small gaiwan.

Rinse, and immediate dried forest mushrooms aroma appears.

First steep for 1 min. at 90°C, as proposed on pack, a bit sour not a very outstanding Pu-erh taste. But sweet plum and cherry confiture taste notes present. Will go to 100°C. Tea is beautiful, dark red color.
